Anita's arm was looped with Simon as they headed down the stairs. It was the first ball of the season making Anita nervous. She saw all the single bachelors waiting to find their future bride. She walked with Simon around as all the ladies and their mothers eyed Simon. As they walked, they bumped into someone making Anita look up and seeing someone familiar to her. "Daphne! Oh, how good to see you again." The two girls hugged each other, and Anita walked back to Simon. She was about to introduce Simon to Daphne when they heard someone else call out his name. The three of them turned to the voice to see Anthony running over to the trio. The men hugged each other and caught up with each other. "Basset this is my little sister Daphne. How'd you know Anita?" Simon put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Lady Danbury taught me and since Anita was Lady Danbury's daughter she was raised with me."
Anthony and Daphne look between the two. That's when the two other brothers come over making Anita look at Benedict. "Benedict, I am surprised to see you here." Benedict looked at Anita and said, "Well, I knew you were gonna be here, so I decided to join. Would you maybe want to dance with me?" Anita looked at Simon as he looked down at her with a smile and nodded. Handing her hand over to Benedict, making her blush as Benedict took her hand pulling her closer to him. They walk to the dance floor as a song ended waiting for another song to start. You stood across from each other and did the respect to each other. As the music the started playing they gazed into each other's eyes. Their movements moved flawlessly with each other.
As their hands met in the middle as the music flurried through the air. As the dance ended, the two chests were against each other, and Benedict dipped Anita. This made Anita blush as she was brought up close to Benedict. Their eyes were closed as they could feel their breaths coming across each other. They walked off the dance floor when Simon walked over. "We have to go." Anita seemed confused as Benedict looked between Anita and Simon. "What happened?" Anita asked. "Daphne happened. Now it's time to go." Anita looked confused then looked back at Benedict and said, "Thank you for the dance, Benedict." Benedict grabbed Anita's hand and gave it a kiss.
Anita blushed as she looped her arm through Simon's arm. They walked out of the party and walked into a carriage. They went back home.
